Research Interests
Current Work:
​
Recently I started a postdoc examining how pollinators respond to differences in intra-specific floral traits. More to come soon!
Dissertation Work:
Environmental conditions can vary drastically throughout the year. This means the generations of animals that develop earlier in the year may have to be adapted for very different conditions than those developing later in the year. For my dissertation, I examined 1) how butterfly communities respond to seasonal change in terms of abundance and behavior, 2) how seasonal traits (morphology, behavior, and vision) correlate in wild populations of the common buckeye butterfly Junonia coenia, and 3) if development of adult color and vision respond to changes in light environment in J. coenia.
